Important Event Notes - FAQ
- Wasn't this in December last year?
Yes, but in previous years it was in September, which, let's be honest is much more "fall" than early December, despite what the idiot who hosts this thing wrote last year. - Will the YYC Fall Do offer superior dining and beverage service?
Yes. The restaurant has a very long whisky list and the best burgers in town. You can savour a sit-down meal from the à la carte menu crafted for the Do. - What if I like hockey puck beef?
Then you're a weirdo, but I guess you can ask them to do it.
Important Event Notes (real ones this time!)
- The burger and Scotch theme is purely optional. Those are the specialties of the restaurant, but you're free to have a salad and a
dietCoke Zero, fish and white wine or whatever floats your boat. - [UPDATED 26/9]: We will have access to a few of the restaurant's recent Whisky Wednesday tasting menus which offer a flight of 3-4 whiskies at a reduced price. For past Do attendees, this is the same as previous years.
- The Do host has not achieved Dorian's level of wealth and generosity. No T-shirts or other swag will be provided. Unless yyznomad shows up with some of his headphones and other goodies.

For those coming from out of town, it has been snowing lightly on and off this morning, but it's not all that bad at this point.
Thanks for the updates. Looks like @SteadyAT is the only one who can't commit...
@SearsTower, hope your wife's surgery goes well and we get to see you tonight! If not, all the best to both of you

Part of the herd is on its way to Lake Louise.
Visibility isn't great, but road conditions have been good. The BLSN was only downtown.

I had been put on the standby list for the Do, and then I think I might have become part of yyznomad’s royal contingent. Thus my extremely vague message about the +/-1.
Anyway, sorry for waffling but I have a trip to LHR on Monday (have business to take care of at the royal palace you know
) and was concerned about the forecasted weather. Here’s hoping for no IRROPs since I’m now in YYC for the Do! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Sorry to do this last minute Adam, but I’m going to have to cancel on tonight. Turns out 5 cm of snow still makes the front steps slippery and I fell down a flight of stairs and wrenched my back. So unfortunately, I’ll be spending my evening with the heating pad and a robax or two rather than a dram

24left thank you for the snow pictures ... makes me feel a little better being stuck in 100 Mile, at least there is no snow here. Granted the company and scotch there would more than make up for it!!
Hope everyone has a great time!!
